Foolish take

Palisades Investment Partners all but liquidated their position in the burgeoning artificial intelligence (AI) growth stock Innodata last quarter. This sale was noteworthy as the stock was previously the firm's second-largest holding, equalling 8.2% of its portfolio.

Considering that Palisades opened a position in Innodata when it was trading for around $15 in 2024, selling the stock for roughly $70 just 18 months later is impressive.

That said, while selling your winners is an almost unavoidable event for institutional investing, I'd argue long-term, Foolish investors may want to let Innodata keep running if they already own it.

Growing sales by 79% in its last quarter and already counting five of the Magnificent Seven as customers, Innodata's recent run shouldn't scare investors away.

While it trades at a hefty 71 times free cash flow, Innodata's margins may not have yet peaked, and management believes sales will grow by 45% this year.

Positioned as a "picks and shovels" type of investment in the AI, generative AI, and large language model realms, Innodata should get more time to demonstrate its long-term potential, in my opinion.
